Younger Days

My Lovesong To You

If i were a rich man
I'll tell what I'd do
I'd bring all my treasures to you
If I were the king
I could make you a queen
With a beautiful, crown on your head

But I aint got diamonds
And I aint got gold
My gifts coming straight from the heart
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

If I were a sailor
Out on the sea
The wind would send my love to you
No matter if you
Are so far away
I always, stand by you, some way

Years may go by
And the time my fly
But darling, my love never dies
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

(bouzouki solo)
(chorus2 repeat)

This is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you
This is my lovesong to you

My Lovesong To You

An Experimental Track exploring Lofi composition.

LoFi - Again & Again

Policarbono de Uxmal alt. v

Punk Jam with two good friends

method: recording guitar (an electromatic in an open tuning it tends to lose), voice, tube xylophone (via contact microphone) and cheap ewi (set to horn, orchestra and shakuhachi respectively) via pedals
narration: in this phase, I am to spend quite a lot of time in such areas (waiting rooms, sometimes reminding of Kafka, sometimes of Sartre, sometimes of Beckett and nearly always reminiscent of the non-places described by Augé and made famous by Eno) - what better is there to do than compose expressionist poetry (and later forget to use a phaser in the far background, not shying away, though, from making old and new impairments part of the process, as usual)?

poem / copyright jo richter:

ausgestanzt und plastiform
da sitzen wir und warten
abmontierte pferde
mit lichttriefenden nüstern
die silhouette einer großstadt
aus bakterien und hoffnung

interlinear translation: indoor waiting area - a cacophony // punched out and shifting shapes / there, we are sitting / dismantled horses / with nostrils dripping light / a city skyline / made of bacteria and hope

Poetical Philosophical Song...
LIFE ISN'T A STRAIGTH LINE
IT'S MORE LIKE A SPIRAL
LINKED CIRCLES THAT BUILD  UP 
TIMES AFTER TIMES

EVERY SEASON IN A YEAR                                              
HAS A REASON TO BE THERE
AS EVERY SEASON .IN THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE
THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE...

SOMETIMES IT'S HOT
SOMETIMES IT'S COLD
SOMETIMES IT'S SUN
SOMETIMES IT'S RAIN
SOMETIMES IS BLOW
SOMETIMES IT'S STORM
SOMETIMES IT'S DROUGHT
SOMETIMES IT'S FLOOD
SOMETIMES ITS SNOW
SOMETIME IT'S FALL....
AND THAN AGAIN IT'S GROW
AGAIN IT'S GROW...GROW....

EVERY SEASON IN A YEAR
HAS A REASON TO BE THERE
AS EVERY SEASON .IN THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE
THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE...

SOMETIMES IT'S NICE
SOMETIMES IT'S SADNESS
SOMETIMES IT'S WISE
SOMETIMES IT'S MADNESS
SOMETIMES IT'S CHILL
SOMETIMES IT'S STRESS
SOMETIMES IT'S HAPPY
SOMETIMES IT'S DISTRESS
SOMETIMES IT'S GLAD
SOMETIMES IT'S SADNESS
SOMETIME IT'S BIRTH 
SOMETIMES IT'S DEATH...
AND THAN AGAIN IT'S REBIRTH.... AGAIN IT'S REBIRTH .... REBIRTH....

EVERY SEASON IN A YEAR
HAS A REASON TO BE THERE
AS EVERY SEASON .IN THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE
THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE ... 

WITH EXPERIENCE WE KEEP GROWING
SOMETIMES GETTING RID OFF OLD SKINS
COMING FRESH WITH A NEW MIND.... A NEW MIND.... NEW MIND....

.IN THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE....THE WIRLWIND OF LIFE ...

EVERY SEASON ...

The fourth "summer night monologue". It has become winter and it is not a solo guitar, so I treated this alone. I made it based on Eagles version, but triplets have been changed to triple time. I raised the key a little, and the tempo is made late.
People who like the Beatles will remember "Oh! Darling" when listening to this song.listen to the version of BB King and the version of Eagles, and further listen to the Beatles'Oh! Darling, so that the flow of the song is completely impregnated into the body :))

JUNZO --- Please Come Home For Christmas (cover)--*WINTER 2018/2019*

#171 This is a Piggy In a Pokey.   A rather twisted and grim fairy tale. 😆 
We hope you like it!  It is a little bit reggae and a little bit soul but all Dan X2.

A story of love and hate and serving time.

Lyrics;
Once upon a time
I made a house out of straw
But you never liked
The house at all 

But it was home
For a little while
But it didn't 
Make you smile

And all your huffing and your puffing
Would bring down our little home 
So I built a house of sticks
To soften up your heart of stone

And for a time
Our life seemed good
In our little house
Made of some wood

And it was home
For a little while
But it didn't 
Make you smile

And here's where the story gets grim
When all the bitter feelings people  hold in
goes boiling up 
over the rim

With all your huffing and your puffing 
You brought down our little home
So then I made a home of bricks
To hide your wicked bones


So here I am
Where life is real
I sit behind walls of stone and steel 

And I look back
On better times
Of fairy tales and nursery rhymes 

'Cause all the huffing and the puffing 
Don't make a difference here
I'm just a piggy in the pokey
For another twenty years. 


Because once upon a time
I made a house of straw...

Piggy In A Pokey

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

The ProgRockDan1 site was taken down by SoundCloud. It was located here:
https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
